Woman dies in Hattiesburg crash

Police say a one-car crash has left a 55-year-old Hattiesburg woman dead.

Forrest County Coroner Butch Benedict tells The Hattiesburg American (http://hatne.ws/1i4FoQ1) he has sent the remains of Glenda F. Johnson for autopsy at the state crime lab in Jackson to determine whether she died before or after the collision.

He said it was unclear whether the woman's death was a result of injuries sustained during the accident or a medical issue that occurred while she was driving.

Lt. Jon Traxler said Johnson crashed at about 7 a.m. Monday.

He says the car went through the dead end of Tuscan Ave., through a fence, hit a big piece of concrete and burst into flames after flipping upside down.
